We present the case of a 56 year old man with left submastoid hard tumor, pain and little mobility limitation. Attending to the unusual location and the accute evolution, imaging studies (radiography and echography) were made, diagnosing a rare accute tendinosis of the sternocleiodomastoideus proximal insertation after chiropractic manipulation.
